Though I never managed to get a photo I was truly happy with, any time I saw a Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus orbis) it was a treat. These little fish (about 1-3 inches long) are just so cute even though they are armoured with those little spikes (which are actually made of the same material as teeth!). They’re affectionately referred to as “Lumpies” by most PNW divers.
And as you’ll see, they seem to come in a huge variety of colors…
